WORSE THAN SMALLPOX.
A Great Danger Which Menaces an Un-
. suspicious Public.

The Brompton Hospital for consump-
tives, in London, reports that over fifty
people out of every hundred consump-
tives, are victims of constipated or mac
tive kidneys.
Consumption is one of our national
diseases. and the above report goes TO
prove what has often been said in our
columns during the last eight years, that
kidney troubles are not only the cause of
more than half of the cases of consump.
tion, but Of ninety ont of every hundred
other common diseases. They who have
taken this position. made their claims
after elaborate investigation. and their
proof that they have discovered spe
ciflc for the terrible and stealthy kidney
diseases, which have become so preva.
lent among us, is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them
fresh supply of their wonderful adver.
tising They have challenged the medi
cal profession and science TO investigate.
They have investigated, and those who
are frank have admitted the truth of
their statements. They claim that ninety
per cent CT diseases come originally from
inactive kidneys; that these inactive kid
neys allow the blood to become filled
with uric acid poison; that this uric acid
| poison in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed
in the system within twenty. -four hours
to kill half a dozen men.
This being scientific fact, 1t requires
only ordinary wisdom to see the effect in.
active kidneys must have upon the sys.
tenn.
If this poison is not removed, 1t ruins
every organ. IL the bowels, stomach or
liver become inactive, we know 1t at
once, bnt other organs help them out.
II the kidneys become constipated and
dormant, the warning comes later on,
and often when 1t Is too late, because the
effects are remote from the kidneys and
those organs arc not suspected TO be out
of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are
unable to resist the attacks of this poison,
and the disease often takes the form of
and is treated as local afiliction, when
in reality the real cause of the trouble
was inactive kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present
day hold what was fact twenty years ago.
that kidney disease Is incurable, accord
ing to the medicines authorized by their
code. Hence, they ignore the original
cause OF disease itself, and give their at
tention to useless treating of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine,
morphine, or with salts and other ply
sizes, hoping that thus nature may cure
the disease, while the kidneys continue
to waste away with inflammation, ulccra.
tion and decay, and the victim eventually
perishes.
The same quantity Of blood that passes
through the heart, passes through the
kidneys. II the kidneys are diseased.
the blood soaks up this disease and takes
1t all through the system. Hence Il is
that the. claim Is made that Warper's
sale cure, the only known specific for
kidney diseases, which is sold so largely
by all dealers, cures 90 per cent. of hu.
man ailments, because 1t. and 1t alone, is
able TO maintain the natural activity of
the kidneys, and to neutralize and re.
move the uric acid, or kidney poison, as
fast as 1t is formed.
III this acid is not removed, there Is
inactivity of the kidneys, and there will
be produced in the system paralysis, ap.
oplexy, dyspepsia, consumption, heart
disease, headaches, rheumatism, pneu
monia, impotency, and all the nameless
diseases OF delicate women. If the pois.
onous matter is separated from the blood,
as fast us 1t is formed, these diseases, In
a majority of cases, would not exist.
1t only requires particle of smallpox
virus to produce that vile disease. and
the poisonous matter from the kidneys,
passing all through the system and be.
coming lodged in different weak points.
Is equally destructive, although more
disguised
Ii II were possible for us to sec into the
kidneys, and how quickly the blood pas.
sing through them goes to the heart and
lungs and other parts Of the system, car.
rying this deadly virus with 1t, all would
believe without hesitation what has so
often been stated In advertisements In
these columns, that the kidneys are the
most important organs in the BODY.
They may regard this article as an
advertisement and refuse TO believe II,
but that is matter over which we have
no control Careful investigation and
science itself are proving beyond doubt
that this organ is, In fact, more impor
than any other in tho system as q health
regulator, and rs such should be closely
watched for the least sign Of disordercd
action.
